Chatbot (Bot Framework) without Teams chat module?
For most of our users the chat functionality in Teams is disabled. But since a Microsoft Bot (based on the Bot framework) is an individual app in Teams I have still hope that such a chatbot could work also for users without the chat functionality?
Is that correct? Or will it only work for the users with the chat enabled in Teams?
Thomsch - This seems to be possible. We tested this at our end by following the below steps.
- Created a messaging policy to disable chat as below
- Assigned this policy to a user
- User is still able to chat with bot even though chat is disabled(Chat section disappeared from left navigation bar)
- Created a messaging policy to disable chat as below
